Abstract
Multiuser interference suppression in coded direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) uplink channels is significantly impacted by the application of the turbo processing concept. This paradigm essentially involves the iterative exchange of soft information between a multiuser demodulator and a bank of single-user decoders, to their mutual benefit. The present work proposes a joint iterative minimum mean square error (MMSE) multiuser and narrowband interference suppressor for coded asynchronous DS-CDMA channels. Since the parameters of the narrowband interference are unknown a priori, the first iteration in this scheme is effectively just MMSE multiuser interference suppression. The outputs of all users' soft decoders (available at the end of each iteration) are fed back to subtract their (estimated) cumulative contribution from the received signal vector. The residue comprises the narrowband interference embedded in wideband noise, so that the former can be piecewise interpolated over chip intervals of appropriate duration, and then subtracted from the received signal, to provide a narrowband-interference-free input signal for the next iteration. The soft-decoded feedback estimates of the interferers' signals are used in each iteration also to perform soft MMSE multiuser interference suppression, in conjunction with subtractive interference cancellation. This scheme performs well at both low and high received signal powers, and displays the successive cancellation property across iterations, exhibiting good near-far resistance. Introducing multisensor arrays at the receiver relaxes the limitations imposed by the inherent suboptimality of MMSE multiuser demodulation, insofar as it enhances interuser separation, now in the spatial sense. Simulations indicate that the performance of the proposed technique surpasses that of all existing suboptimal algorithms in this context.
